My double wear has let me down - What foundation really does last all day?

I've used Double Wear and I think I,he done it right - used a primer etc. But by 2pm ish it's disappeared! I don't have tonnes of money but I thought long lasting foundation might be a good investment!

I need something full coverage (acne scars!) and most importantly something that will last! Can anyone recommend anything? Or should I be looking at setting spray?

I like max factor pan stick, I need full coverage for the same reason.
MAC studio fix is good too but costs mega bucks.
Someone will be along soon with more suggestions for longevity.

Just got urban decay naked and its brilliant. Yes a little expensive but in the past year I have bought 5 from boots around £7-8 each and this beats the lot. I only have to powder slightly around 3pm and I am usually quite oily so this is amazing for me. Perfect colour match too.

I set it (when I can remember to) with the urban decay oil slick spray but honestly I forget most times and its still amazing.

Revlon naked one is quite good but not the best colour for me.

Oops, posted too early. Look at your skincare.

If DW doesn't last all day then your skincares probably a bit off. Do you use harsh cleansers that would leave your skin stripped and over producing oil?

I use Bare Minerals without a primer and find it stays put all day unless I touch or rub my skin a lot.

If your make-up is disappearing it may be because your skin is not getting enough moisture and is dehydrated. Caroline Hirons explains it here: www.beautymouth.com/2011/11/dry-or-dehydrated-cheat-sheet.html
